Obtaining a Thumb rest that doesn't obscure the rear button on the Q is important to me. I have configured my Q to have AF on the rear button. If you don't need that facility or don't need to have any function assigned to the rear button, then almost any version will fit.

Does anyone have experience with the new TU EP-SQ at the Leica Q? I do need the rear button very often. It seems to be a little difficult to push the rear button when there is the TU on the back side! As I can't test it before buying, I must have this information!

The one thing I don't care for with it is that it blocks easy thumb access to the shutter speed dial. My guess is that it had to do with the physical realities of having to expose the back AEL/AFL/zoom button. Sort of unfortunate in that I would have ditched the button to get to the shutter spore dial more easily, but it's not a huge issue. It's still a large net positive for the camera.

Has the advantage that you don't accidentally rotate the exposure compensation dial or the dipper dial. In fact, to rotate the diopter you need to remove the thumbs up.

To rotate the exposure comp dial or press the zoom/lock thumb button, it's a bit more difficult but as I get more used to it, it happens more naturally.

This clinched it for me. It seems very pricey, but if it helps as noted above, I'll feel good about the expenditure. Ordered today from Popflash. $135, no tax (for me, since I'm not in California) and free shipping.
